Bellator 90 takes place at Maverik Center in Salt Lake City. The main card airs on Spike TV following prelims on Spike.com. The card will be headlined by the featherweight tournament final between Rad Martinez (14-2 MMA, 4-0 BFC) and Shahbulat Shamhalaev (11-1-1 MMA, 2-0 BFC), a fight that was delayed from Season 7.

The other four fights on the main card are tournament semifinals in the light heavyweight and welterweight divisions, including Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal (9-1 MMA, 1-0 BFC) vs. Emanuel Newton (19-7-1 MMA, 2-1 BFC).

Beebe had an outstanding 2012, going 6-0, including a unanimous decision win over David Harris at Bellator 75. He hasn’t lost since a split-decision setback to Marcos Galvao at Bellator 51 in September 2011 in the opening round of the Season 5 tournament. The onetime WEC 135-pound champ will be looking to get into Bellator’s next bantamweight tournament and does so on a hot streak.

Marx, a Jackson/Winkeljohn MMA product, had a four-fight win streak snapped by Galvao at Bellator 68 in the semifinals of the Season 6 bantamweight tournament. Galvao went on to win the tournament to get a shot at champ Eduardo Dantas on Thursday night at Bellator 89. Marx has 14 of his 19 wins by stoppage.

Juarez fought once for Strikeforce, losing to Luke Stewart in September 2008 with a first-round armbar. He then went on a nine-fight win streak, including three straight in Bellator in 2009 with a pair of TKO stoppages. Since his most recent stint in the promotion, he has gone 7-3 for a variety of regional promotions, including Maximum Fighting Championship.

Smith will be looking to turn his Bellator fortunes around. He has dropped back-to-back Bellator fights with a 22-second knockout loss to David Rickels at Bellator 63 and a unanimous decision setback to Andrey Koreshkov at Bellator 74. His resume, however, includes wins over Karo Parisyan and Bristol Marunde.
